Developer’s Description

By Unearthly Enterprises

Send "magic" packets across a network to turn on Wake-On-Lan devices.

Wake-On-Lan (WOL) enabled computers can be sent special packets that allow for a change in power state. The first WOL machines could only be sent a "Magic Packet" that would instruct the computer to turn on when powered down. Though this is an older technology, this could still be useful in a variety of IT or home scenarios. FugueUp is a freeware application written just for this purpose. It sits in the systray and, after initial set up, you can power on a number of computers just by clicking the appropriate menu item. Written against the .Net 2.0 Framework, Unearthly Enterprises is releasing this simple (and hopefully) helpful application free of charge. Note: This utility only sends Magic Packets. It is up to the user to properly configure their computer with the proper hardware to be WOL enabled. To be helpful, there is a discussion in the included readme.pdf (in Appendix A) about how to do this but the actual system settings will vary from machine to machine.

Don't know; didn't actually try it. I was too busy trying to remove the malware.

Malware is difficult to remove.

CNET shares the blame for this. I can't imagine trusting them in the future.
